A relentless novel about an affair between a young French girl and her wealthy Chinese lover in pre-war Saigon. A story of passion, broken families, and finding your way alone in the world. A passionate novel of firsts - love, wealth, and the collapse of French colonialism.
One of today's most insightful critics and music writers turns his attention to a legendary and beloved hiphop group--A Tribe Called Quest--as a way of understanding not only the golden age of '90s rap, but the shifting sands of American culture at a transitional moment and his own life as well. A stunning, brilliant and heartfelt work from a writer quickly becoming a voice of a generation.
Have you ever read a book and felt that you were holding in your hands a classic, something indipsensable to a language and a culture? Chronicle of the Murdered House is such an example. This book has hints of Dostoyevsky, Garcia Marquez and Antonio Lobo Antunes. Already a classic in Brazil - this book is not only beautifully written and profound, but a joy to read. The dysfunction of a prestigious family in a provincial Brazilian jungle, complete with gossip, backstabbing, cross-dressing and suicide attempts.There's a fully-formed universe taking place in a run-down mansion rotting away in the jungle. Despite having the weight and breadth of a classic, its 600 pages fly by. I dare anyone to read it and not appreciate its artistry and breadth.
Armstrong's latest work is perhaps her most powerful to date, exploring the scriptures of the Bible, Quran, and Torah. Written with the intellect of a theologian and charged with compassion, Armstrong asserts that most people read scripture to confirm their own views, then shows how to read for transformation. This is a vitally important work for believers and non-believers alike.
A family traveling west. Migrant children traveling north towards the border. Luiselli weaves those two storylines together into a delicate tapestry. Among the threads are glimmers of Luiselli's other obsessions: sound archives, Apachi histories, names, family dynamics. Reading fiction and characters with rich inner lives, this book is thoughtful, methodical, beautiful, and complex. Read it!
A wickedly funny story set in a world where the board game Scrabble has become one of the biggest sports around. However not everything is sunshine and daisies. The infamous Scrabble Mafia, the "Scraffia," is out there and they are after our main characters.
Beautifully written, gorgeous translation. A love letter to her son, husband, and mother, while at the same time incredibly honest and truthful about the frustrations and fears of pregnancy and motherhood.

Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people –– the beauty within themselves.
